 The puzzle cube is symbolic of the geekery of internet and internet technology in general, and it being all red is of course a reference to ''RED''dimension, but a puzzle cube with all sides the same color would not be difficult to solve.  A thus REDdimension's logo symbolizes that IT need not be geeky and cryptic, but can be much simpler and can be solved.

+[[File:REDdimension 3 over white.jpg|right|300px]]The domain name, reddimension, was decided after exhausting several other choices which were not available.
 Shortly before choosing a name to register, Jon had been re-watching the Carl Sagan PBS series, '''Cosmos''', and had many of the concepts and terms from the program fresh in his mind.  The first choice was "redshift," which refers to the apparent chromatic distortion of an object toward the red end of the visible spectrum as an object moving toward you approaches the speed of light.  Jon thought a reference to the speed of light might be appropriate for an internet identity.  But the name "redshift.com" had already been taken (today it is an internet services company).

	The preferred method of writing the name is with the first three letters capitalized as in "REDdimension.com". This convention was devised to visually emphasize that it is comprised of two unqiue words, and to reinforce that there are two consecutive letter d's.

-Jon first experienced the pain of changing an email address (including notifying all friends &amp; family, changing all subscriptions and updating all online services) in the fall of 1998 when changing from his first ever address with Tallahassee Freenet to his new &quot;real&quot; ISP, Vistech.
+Jon first experienced the pain of changing an email address (including notifying all friends & family, changing all subscriptions and updating all online services) in the fall of 1998 when changing from his first ever address with Tallahassee Freenet to his new "real" ISP, Vistech.
 The difficulty and frustration of that process, combined with early forays into freelance website design and the need for a web host for those projects, led him to the conclusion that it was time to choose a truly permanent online identity and residence for him and his family which could be kept for a lifetime.

 During those first two years, domain name registration become decentralized and Network Solutions's monopoly on the market had been dissolved.  Jon transferred reddimension.com to Dotster.com, where it is still maintained to this day for $14.95 per year.
